Switching Report to view

[WCRA Dev]

I have a page called Report.aspx that has the Telerik ReportViewer control on it.  During the OnLoad event of Report.aspx I would like to set the report that will be viewed.  How do I do this?

Hi Christian,

Please review the following help article for more information about assigning a report to the web report viewer: Embedding the Web Report Viewer on a Web Form.

I've tried that code but I get this error:  Error   13   The type or namespace name 'Report1' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Hi Christian,

Please check whether you have added reference to the class library in your web site.

How do I add the reference to the class library?  Which class library?

Hi Christian,

It seems that we're missing the base here, so we would elaborate a bit more. As outlined in the Best Practices help article, one needs to create a class library that would hold the Telerik Reports. Then reference the class library in your web site, so you can use the reports in the viewer. Then follow the steps in the article from our very first post.
Step by step instructions on the above are available in the Quickstart help section.

Best wishes,

I created a class library called 'reports' and I added a reference to it (I've attached a screenshot of my project).  I'm no longer getting an error on this line:

Report report = new Report();

but now I get an error on:

report.DataSource = MyDataSource;

Error   35  'eMember.Report' does not contain a definition for 'DataSource' and no extension method 'DataSource' accepting a first argument of type 'eMember.Report' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)   U:\Tech Dept\Development\eMember3\eMember\eMember\Report_DiaryLetters.aspx.cs   17  20  eMember

Hello Christian,

As I can see from your screenshots, "reports" is not a class library but a web site project. Class library icon is different and it is not meant to hold aspx pages in it (see attached screenshot).
To avoid any further confusion, I've prepared a sample VS2010 solution that consists of a class library holding a report and web application that displays the report with the help of the Web Report Viewer.
